Directions

Place all the ingredients except the powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Use a large, sturdy spoon (or an electric mixer if you like) to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.

Prepare the pan to prevent the Tessellating Brownies from sticking. Put some margarine or butter into the pan and spread it around using a paper towel. Dust a spoonful of flour on top of the margarine and tilt the pan back and forth so a thin layer of flour sticks to the margarine.

Spoon the dough into the pan. Ask an adult to place the pan in the oven.

Have an adult remove the brownies from the oven after about 12–15 minutes, when the edges are slightly browned. To test for doneness, poke a toothpick in the middle of the brownies and then pull it out. There should be no gooey dough sticking to it.

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Then turn the pan upside down on a cooling rack to remove the brownies.

Use the knife to cut the large rectangle carefully in half to make two smaller rectangles. Sprinkle the powdered sugar onto one half of the brownies only.

Cut the powdered portion into squares. Then carefully cut each square diagonally to form two triangles.

Cut the unpowdered side of the brownies the same way: first squares, then triangles.

Take one powdered triangle and one plain triangle and place them together to make a rectangle. Continue the tessellation by alternating one powdered triangle with one plain triangle. If you like, you can make a tessellating design like the fish.

Probably because the baking instructions are usually on the pastry package. Mine has one for empty and one for filled. I can't wait to try this recipe. Cheese and mushrooms are a favorite combo. I wonder if the crisped sage leaves would keep if I made them a few days ahead and placed in a sealed container?

Thanks for a glimpse into a large family. I has 2 sisters and brother, but they were grown and moved out when I came along. My parents rule was stocking before breakfast, and tree after breakfast when often my oldest sister and her family would come to open presents under the tree. And my grandparents stayed with us over holidays.

I followed the recipe with the exception of adding chopped garlic to the ricotta ecause I just love garlic. I also switched from 375 regular bake to a 300 degree convection bake for the last 10 min to help some of the liquid evaporate. My crust was perfect all the way through! Also: pro tip: use full fat Greek yogurt! It's the closest to sour cream in f
